This new defibrillator has appeared just down the road from us.
We have all had letters telling us how to access it…..hopefully it will just be something no one needs to use!
Three good things:
1. The above.
2. Another showing tonight of the lovely animation The Boy the Fox & the Horse….delightful.
3. I stayed up until the very end of the Masters Golf Tournament last night & enjoyed it all.
@julzmaioro Ah that’s handy but I do wonder if you were in a panic & hed to run down the road, ring the number on the box & then they give you the number to access the defibrillater ……would you be able think think straight to do all that? The. You have to run back with it & use it!
They are everywhere now. We have one in our village. As only about 8% of people survive a cardiac arrest in the community, where only CPR is administered, they could make quite a difference.
You should always ring 999 before commencing CPR & send someone for defibrillator if there is one.
The Young Fella did a First Aid Course last week (has to renew the qualification every 3 years for work) and he came home having learned that the defibrillator doesn't restart your heart, it stops it and stimulates the brain into restarting it. Not how I had understood it at all! Glad to see there is one readily available. Life saving things.
Very interesting. Defilibrators could save lives. I have no idea how to use them but you won't find them in the streets, at least up till now, in Malta.
